I’ve had a great week, it started with a fabulous trip to Edinburgh, thanks to all at Hotel Missoni, and I very much enjoyed their hospitality. Didn’t have the best of luck on the sightseeing front, left the hotel a bit later than I wanted on the first morning as I felt obliged to sample […]

Had a fabulous 3 nights in Portofino. I love Italy, I have tried so many different regions but I have never been to Liguria, so beautiful. I couldn’t believe how small Portofino was; you walk from one end to the other in under 10 minutes, but so pretty. I have a real passion for Italy, […]

Don’t want to bore you, but the best bit of news for me is the continuing success of Wallace & Co in Putney, it’s really nice and busy, the bar has made a huge difference. Let’s hope now we get some sunny weather, we get lots of drinkers having nibbles. I was in Glasgow Sunday […]

Two subjects dominated my week, bar and charity. We’ve got a brand new very sexy bar at Wallace & Co in Putney. The place looks fantastic, if I say so myself. Newly decorated outside, inside it is light blue, grey and white with a marble topped bar, very light, very fresh and airy. I am […]

It’s been an interesting and varied week. The bar is finally going in to Wallace & Co and I expect great things. Annabel wants me to learn how to run the bar, I think sitting at it drinking is a far better alternative. I won’t be able to chat to people if I’m working. Drunk […]

Well I am definitely back from holiday and the pace has certainly picked up. There was of course the final of MasterChef and all the press interest that surrounds that. I did really enjoy my appearance on Loose Women. I did pretty well on the dinner front this week, I had a lovely visit to […]

I have been on holiday, it’s the one thing I will actually spend money on. I just love being away; it’s the spirit of adventure, the excitement of travel and the wonderful relaxation. I still work when I’m away, probably no more than an hour and a half a day, phone calls and e-mails and […]

I might as well tell you now that I have got a really fascinating series coming out in the summer. We have been filming with all the big Supermarkets going behind the scenes with their purchasing teams. I have loved every minute of it. I have just been putting the voiceover to the film, I […]

It’s going to be all change soon at Wallace & Co in Putney, I have managed to acquire most of the shareholding and there is going to be some great changes. My little brother Biffo is back in a supervisory role and I have bought in a talented partner, a local lady named Annabel, bags […]

Firstly, sad to see the end of Secretts Direct, the fruit and veg supply company that I was part of. Well, to be fair, I owned 45% of it and haven’t actually visited the place for over 6 years, still, sad to see it go. On a brighter note, the Café in Putney and the […]
